Benefits of technology

The patent helps to improve the quality of work by managing the performance of the workers and their physical condition with high precision. This means that the invention can provide a better way to measure and improve the work performance of employees.

Problems solved by technology

In recent years, much attention has been paid to work style reforms as one of challenges to be tackled by the administration, companies, or the like, against a backdrop of social problems such as a decrease in work performance efficiency due to work environment, living habit, and the like, and an increase in cost of health insurance.
In addition, for example, as regards creation of materials having similar contents, in the case where a certain worker requires three days for the creation while another worker requires four days for the creation, when work performance efficiency is evaluated, it is not possible to perform with high precision management as to whether the work performance efficiency of a worker lowers or not, unless consideration is given to such a difference in work performance ability.
Further, when a work performance state and a physical condition relating to a worker fail to be managed with high precision, it is difficult to present a suitable measure to improve the work performances of the worker.

first example embodiment

[0020]FIG. 1 is a block diagram which conceptually illustrates a configuration of a worker management system 1 according to a first example embodiment of the present invention. The worker management system 1 is a system which mainly includes a worker management apparatus 10, a work terminal apparatus 20, a wearable terminal device (measuring device) 31, and a smartphone 32, and in which these constituent elements are communicably connected via an intracompany local area network (LAN) 41 and Internet 42.

[0021]The wearable terminal device 31 is a device which can measure physical data 310 relating to at least one worker who is a management target of the worker management system 1, when necessary, regardless of working hours, the wearable terminal device 31 being, for example, wound around the arm of the worker, or being attached to the clothes of the worker. Note that the physical data 310 are, for example, data representing the physical condition of the worker, such as a heart rate, ...

second example embodiment

[0065]FIG. 3 is a block diagram which conceptually illustrates a configuration of a worker management apparatus 50 according to a second example embodiment of the present invention.

[0066]The worker management apparatus 50 according to the present example embodiment includes a work performance information generation unit 51, an acquisition unit 52, an estimation unit 53, and an improvement measure generation unit 54.

[0067]The work performance information generation unit 51 generates work performance information 510 representing the performance state of work by a worker.

[0068]The acquisition unit 52 acquires physical information 520 representing the physical condition relating to the worker.

[0069]The estimation unit 53 estimates an influence of the physical condition of the worker upon the work performance state, based on the work performance information 510, the physical information 520, and information 530 representing characteristics of the worker.

[0070]The improvement measure gene...

Abstract

A worker management apparatus includes: a work performance information generation unit generating work performance information representing a performance state of work by a worker; an acquisition unit acquiring physical information representing a physical condition relating to the worker; an estimation unit estimating an influence of the physical condition upon the performance state, based on the work performance information, the physical information, and information representing a characteristic of the worker; and an improvement measure generation unit generating improvement measure information representing a measure to improve the performance state relating to the worker, according to an estimation result by the estimation unit, thereby presenting a suitable measure to improve the work performance of the worker by managing with high precision the work performance state and physical condition relating to the worker.

Description

[0001]This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-134876, filed on Jul. 18, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates to a technology for managing a work performance state and a physical condition relating to a worker.BACKGROUND ART[0003]In recent years, much attention has been paid to work style reforms as one of challenges to be tackled by the administration, companies, or the like, against a backdrop of social problems such as a decrease in work performance efficiency due to work environment, living habit, and the like, and an increase in cost of health insurance. In promoting the work style reforms, expectations are rising for a technology for enabling implementation of appropriate improvement measures for improving work performance of a worker, by efficiently and suitably managing, with use of information technology (IT), a w...
